School

Hirosawa Elementrary School. There are about 900 students
in grades 1-6
I am going to Hirosawa Elementary School. I have to be in 2nd grade here. There are a few kids in my class that can speak English and they are helping me. Everyone wants to be my friend and play with me on the playground. They follow me and touch my hair. It is kind of creepy, but I know they are just trying to be nice.
I like my teacher, Aiko. There are 33 kids in my class. I eat the school lunch because no body brings there lunch from home. It is pretty good.
We have a good play ground at our school.
On the way to school. Kids at my school
don't wear uniforms, but they all
wear grey hats and have similar backpacks.
The second day I was scared because my mom said she would be there to meet me, but she didn't come. We didn't know that in Japan, the school day ends at different times on different days for different classes. The kids all walk to school by themselves and come home by themselves. Even little kindergardeners.

  3. What a unusual experience, to go a school where almost nobody speaks your language...also sounds like you are making the most out of it!
